Life & Health Insurance

Why Buy Life Insurance?

As with all insurance, life insurance plans are about preparing for the unexpected. We don’t plan to have a heart attack or meet an untimely end. We may fret about the unforeseen, but there are few ways to prepare for it. Life insurance provides a way to be prepared and get peace of mind. The main reason to buy life insurance is for financial protection for your family and dependents. If you are the sole income earner or the major provider in your family, then life insurance definitely makes sense. If you should die unexpectedly, your policy will help your loved ones pay your final expenses and potentially receive ongoing support. The amount they receive will depend upon the size of policy you buy.

How Much Life Insurance Do I Need?

Choosing a life insurance plan requires a bit of math. You want to figure out how much your family needs for daily spending and major upcoming expenses in the event that you pass away too soon and cannot provide for them. Or, if you are young, single and healthy, you can look at the cost of paying off any debt you have accumulated, or the cost of care for an aging parent.

• Critical Illness Policies can reduce the financial stress if certain specified conditions occur such as cancer, heart attack, or Alzheimer’s disease.  This protection can provide the peace of mind to let you focus on recovery.
• Medigap is a private insurance option, available at various levels of coverage, to supplement the Medicare health plan.
• A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a flexible and affordable alternative to buying high-priced coverage.  This tax-free, interest-bearing savings account is tied to a high-deductible policy that offers lower premiums; you use the premium savings to cover out-of-pocket medical costs.  After you’ve met the deductible, the HSA plan covers remaining eligible health care expenses.  Money not needed to cover expenses remains in the account for you.

You work hard to build a life for yourself, and it’s only natural that you want to protect that. Most likely you protect your home, car and family from the unexpected with the appropriate insurance plans.

What about your income? If you were suddenly unable to work due to an injury or illness, could you maintain your current lifestyle? How long could you pay your mortgage and bills? Short term and long term disability insurance can protect your financial well-being by replacing lost wages if an illness or injury prevents you from working.

Some employers offer disability insurance plans. If your employer does not offer this coverage, or if you are self-employed, you can buy personal disability insurance.
